Purchase Lands' End Uniforms Here 1 | Page Student Dress Code 2021-2022 PHILOSOPHY AND GENERAL STATEMENT Vista Ridge Academy believes that school performance and future success are enhanced by appropriate dress and grooming. Parents/Guardians are strongly encouraged to work closely with the school to insure student's adherence to these standards. Parents/Guardians will be serving the welfare of our students and help us as educators by emphasizing standards of neatness, cleanliness, safety, and modesty in dress and grooming. Because of differences in individual body size and maturity, the same garment may fit two different people in two very different ways so we encourage parents to be aware of the fit of garments for your individual student. It is our desire to encourage each student to be Christ-centered, choosing a manner of dress that would be modest, neat, and bring glory to God rather than to the wearer. The Dress Code is in effect for all students while attending school functions or school sponsored activities on or off school property. Exceptions to the dress code for certain school- related events are determined by administration and families will be notified of occasions when exceptions to the normal dress code apply. While it is inevitable that there may be a difference of opinion regarding the appropriateness of clothing, grooming, and/or determining whether or not a student’s attire is disruptive or distracting to the educational environment of the school, final determination will be made by the school administration. Any student who does not comply with the dress code will be removed from the regular school setting until a parent can provide proper attire or items are loaned or purchased from our used uniform rack. GENERAL STANDARDS TO BE FOLLOWED Hair must be combed, neat, clean, and a natural hair color. Unconventional hairstyles that are considered to be distracting and/or disruptive to the educational environment are prohibited. For further clarification on what is unconventional or an unnatural hair color, please consult with administration. Clothing worn for events that are exceptions to the uniform dress code (i.e. Dress Down or Spirit Days) should align with our core values and not include inappropriate advertising or statements that are offensive or inflammatory (referencing alcoholic beverages, profanity, sex, tobacco, drugs, gang affiliation, satanic themes, promoting violence, etc.). Certain colored items of clothing (shirts, hair decorations, shoe laces, etc.) may be prohibited at the discretion of the Administration. Shirts should be 2 | Page worn that cover the shoulders. Halter tops, exposed midriffs, strapless and/or low cut tops, exposed backs, spaghetti straps, see-through clothing, and tanks with oversized armholes are not permitted. Undergarments shall not be visible or exposed. Appropriate footwear is required. Footwear with toes and/or soles reinforced with steel, hard plastic or similar materials is prohibited. Sandals and light-up shoes are prohibited (no open toes, sling back or spike heels). Footwear with wheels or characters is prohibited. Rain or snow boots may be worn on rainy or snowy days for outside play only (regular shoes should be worn inside). Rain/Snow boots shall not be worn in the gym. Rules regarding footwear for special events may be modified at the discretion of the campus administrator. Pants shall be worn securely at the waist. Sagging is prohibited. Bicycle shorts, gym shorts (other than approved PE uniform gym shorts for PE class), form fitting and skin-tight shorts or pants of spandex or other similar materials may not be worn as pants alone. Campus Administration will determine appropriate length, but in general, skirts, dresses, jumpers, skorts, and shorts (including boys’ shorts) should fall no shorter than 2” from the knee. Excessively high slits in skirts will not be permitted. Black bicycle shorts or tights must be worn under dresses, skirts, and jumpers for modesty. Black leggings may be worn by girls in Preschool – 6th grade in lieu of tights under skirts, dresses, or jumpers for warmth and/or modesty. If needed for warmth, fleece jackets, cardigans, sweaters, and sweater vests that are worn in school must be uniform pieces purchased through Land’s End or our used uniform supply and must contain the Vista Ridge Academy embroidered logo. Other jackets, hats, and gloves may be worn in the gym or outside at recess only. Any apparel or attire that is considered to be inappropriate, distracting and/or disruptive to the educational environment or is considered a safety concern is prohibited.

    FIREMAN HAT, DIAPER COVER, BOOTS AND SUSPENDERS PATTERN by ExpertCraftss http://www.etsy.com/shop/ExpertCraftss Email: [email protected] Thank you for purchasing this pattern! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact as above. Good luck and have fun creating this fun set! Maria Pickard MATERIALS NEEDED: H hook, I hook and J hook, depending on the size you wish to make. Red, black and silver yarn. I use "I love this yarn" medium worsted weight. I have also used red heart yarn which actually allows the hat to be a bit more sturdy but is definitely not as soft on baby. Buttons: 2 large for front of diaper cover. 4 smaller buttons for inside diaper cover so that suspenders can be attached. Size of buttons is related to your stitching and what will best fit and hold the flaps and suspenders in place. I try to get the largest button that will fit through stitching for front, 1 inch. There are no specific button holes so test your buttons. I force my buttons through so I know they will not slip out when on baby. Tapestry needle. Difficulty: Intermediate. Stitches used: Ch, sc, hdc, dc, FPdc, sl st. HAT: For newborn use H hook. For 3-6 month, use I hook. For 6-9 month, use I hook and follow directions in bold below. For 9-12 month, use J hook. Magic circle. 1. Ch 2, 8 dc in ring. Slip st to 1st dc. 8 st. 2. Ch 2, dc in same st as sl st.

  • Joseph Smith Period Clothing 145
    Carma de Jong Anderson: Joseph Smith Period Clothing 145 Joseph Smith Period Clothing: The 2005 Brigham Young University Exhibit Carma de Jong Anderson Early in 2005, administrators in Religious Education at Brigham Young University gave the green light to install an exhibit (hopefully my last) in the display case adjacent to the auditorium in the Joseph Smith Building. The display would showcase the clothing styles of the life span of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the people around him (1805–1844). There were eleven mannequins and clothing I had constructed carefully over many years, mingled with some of my former students’ items made as class projects. Those pieces came from my teaching the class, “Early Mormon Clothing 1800–1850,” at BYU several years ago. There were also a few original pieces from the Joseph Smith period. During the August 2005 BYU Education Week, thousands viewed these things, even though I rushed the ten grueling days of installation for something less than perfect.1 There was a constant flow of university students passing by and stopping to read extensive signage on all the contents shown. Mary Jane Woodger, associate professor of Church History and Doctrine, reported more young people and faculty paid attention to it than any other exhibit they have ever had. Sincere thanks were extend- ed from the members of Religious Education and the committee plan- ning the annual Sydney B. Sperry October symposium. My scheduled lectures to fifteen to fifty people, two or three times a week, day or night for six months (forty stints of two hours each), were listened to by many of the thirty thousand viewers who, in thank-you letters, were surprised at how much information could be gleaned from one exhibit.
